I'm pretty sure that NOBODY watched SC center. Not sure the following that *@&! Slasher had, but it certainly wasn't the best show I'd ever seen. There's a limited market for these type of shows, and I think that between Live on Three and SOTG, it's mostly filled. I guess that there just weren't enough people watching it to justify the cost of producing it.

I hope to see some independent shows like these crop up and garner followings of their own.

well first you have your talent, then your director, then your writers, then your TD's, then your producer, and if you're paying all of them (which i'm going to assume they were, at least partially) costs go up quick, not to mention the equipment they were using etc.

as someone who works in the entertainment industry (not just esports but like MTV, HBO, etc.) the costs to run shows like they were producing daily, can definitely be up there. its a shame, those shows were entertaining and well done, hopefully they find new homes/the hosts can keep doing what they were doing with new groups.



doubt highly they are paying any of them.. and in fact.. I can assure you that most are not. The production value on them does not require half of the things you listed that are needed. These are basically internet streams bro.. You could produce something like this without much investment.


do you think we worked for free? mlg paid us and mlg continues to pay many of these guys.

This is surprising. I liked the SC Report / Fuck Slasher double act of news then opinion, and it looked like they were lining up an evening broadcast schedule on MLG TV that was stable and could be built on. That was pretty impressive. I look forward to the statement explaining the decision.

i wouldnt be surprised if chobo brings back sc center, i had a feeling he was hedging in case this happened ever since the official mlg version was called sc report and not sc center.

feel bad for their writers/researchers too


that is accurate! (in regard to why the name was changed)

Shit, I just started watching these on a regular basis and now they're gone.

I hope anyone affected by this can bounce back and make a profit doing it elsewhere. I especially liked Fuck Slasher because he dipped into some other games but always gave sc2 enough attention when needed. I assume SoTG will continue on whether with mlg or not.

Eh, that's silly. Obviously there were people that watched.

Besides, shows like SC Center take a while to really take off since they don't have cheap humor/drama element to it. SC Report probably has the highest quality content of all three and had a lot of potential.

This is sad news, but its definitely not the last we'll see of slasher, chobopeon, jp, et. all. Good luck to everyone.

F*** Slasher? More like F*** MLG. :|

I have no clue why they would want to cut these programs unless they lost some sponsors... maybe they were kicked out of the building they were streaming at?

:[ Well poo, I'm sure we'll continue seeing Chobopeon around in the community, no doubt about that. GL to him, and I'd like to hear MLG and what they have to say. Quite curious.

I was a bit hyperbolic there, I mean I watched the show myself, but whenever I did there were between 150-300 viewers.

SC Center was on at a bad time, pre- 5pm EST so most people in the US are at work. If chobopeon revives his show he should probably consider the time slot more carefully.

F** Slasher was a very nice show, and at a time where Europeans could watch.
I'll miss it.

People may be reading too much into it. You gotta have the courage to cancel some shows if you want to build better shows.

One thing that doesn't add up is that they bring out a statement after Providence saying they had an amazing year in terms of viewership and business, yet they fire a lot of staff and stop all(?) their online shows.

They either lost a bunch of corporate sponsors of their league (a really bad move for the sponsors in my opinion), or they're re-shuffling a lot of what they are in business for.

Who knows.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

that is weird because we got over 1k on a regular basis and hit as high as 3k on big shows!

that said, we definitely had not really hit our stride as far as viewership goes. we had a way to go. but that is not really why it's being cancelled, mlg wasnt expecting 5k viewers so quickly. it's just a matter of refocusing as ive already written.

The design on MLG's website sure didn't help promote these shows. Don't they realize the MLG website is terrible?

Can anyone explain the whole take-over of Got-Frag from MLG and then hiring those employees to MLG only for MLG not to use them? It confuses me.
